Controversies
- Isko Moreno not in favor of jailing senators, calls move 'too much'.
- Isko Moreno refuses to apologize to Chinese navy.
- Duterte implicitly took aim at Moreno in August after Manila suffered a chaotic
vaccination drive and aid distribution. The president said that a public official
whose nude photos are out in the public is not deserving to hold the office. “Yan
ang gusto ninyo? Ang training parang, para lang call boy, naghuhubad… ‘Yan ang
training ng presidente, maghubad at magpapicture, at magsilip, magyabang sa
kanilang ari,” said Duterte. Moreno has shrugged off such descriptions of him.
- But months later, as Sen. Bong Go withdrew his candidacy for president, Moreno
has sought Duterte’s endorsement, causing some to brand him as a flip-flopper.
The mayor has now been heaping praises of the president, whom he criticized just
a few months earlier. The Palace has not announced whom the president will
support in the May 2022 elections.

Platforms for 2022 Elections

- The Manila mayor promises that every Filipino would get a booster shot six months
after the start of his administration
- Moreno also promised that Filipinos should feel they have “caring” government “in
30 days,” with the help of Congress.
COVID-19 Pandemic
- Assuring enough facilities, equipment and medicines to be used by doctors to
respond to the pandemic.
- Abolish task forces and remove czars to oversee the government’s pandemic
response; instead, he will tap infectious disease experts to lead the COVID-19
response.
- Replicate his COVID-19 initiatives in Manila like quickly setting up field hospitals
and a command structure to get updates and set targets.
- Establish field hospitals per region in the country.
Economic Recovery
- Extend zero-interest loans for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
- Two-pronged approach to aid MSMEs: first is partnering with the Interior and
Agriculture Department and Landbank, while the second is reducing taxes on fuel
and electricity.
Drug War Campaign
- To continue President Duterte’s drug war but would not allow extrajudicial killings
and human rights abuses to prosper.
- Insists that the justice system is ‘working’ when asked about the ICC’s temporary
pause of its investigation against Duterte and his subordinates.
- Nonetheless, he is open to cooperating with the ICC and improving relationships
with international organizations.
West Philippine Sea
- Would imitate Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s response to China’s bullying:
sending strong messages and taking significant actions over their territory to assert
their sovereignty.
- Vows to modernize the Philippine Navy and Philippine Coast Guard to improve the
country’s line of defense in the West Philippine Sea.
- Pursue joint oil and gas explorations with China as long as it will be done through
service contracts awarded by the Philippines.
Peace Talks With Communist Rebels
- Moreno – an observer of peace talks with rebels before – urged the government
to convince communist rebels to return to civil life and achieve peace.
Climate Change and the Environment
- To push massive rehabilitation, recovery and reforestation to the country’s forests
with the help of indigenous peoples and local communities.
- Invest in infrastructure focusing on clean and renewable energy, such as the
construction of solar, hydroelectric and geothermal energy infrastructure.
Infrastructure
- Continue Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” program and expand its coverage
nationwide, prioritizing Visayas and Mindanao for inclusive and equitable
economic growth.
- Will focus on projects such as hospitals, public housing and public schools.
- Allocate funds for a national broadband plan for a cheaper and faster internet.
Education
- Vows to invest in the needs of the youth such as school facilities, fast internet
connection, prioritization of competitive subjects like science and mathematics and
growing the business process outsourcing (BPO) centers where students work
upon graduation.
Agriculture
- Providing long-term agriculture funding.
- Setting up cold storage facilities in every province.
- Limiting importation of agri products and ensuring that local producers will be able
to sell their products first.
- A priority of the Moreno administration would be to curb smuggling.
Same Sex Marriage and LGBTQ+ Rights
- Won’t overlook the LGBTQ+ community once elected, as evident in the anti-
discrimination ordinance he signed last year in Manila.
The ABS-CBN Franchise and Press Freedom
- To sign a Congress-approved ABS-CBN franchise once the bill landed on his
desk.
Labor Rights
- Use local government’s share in taxes – under the 2018 Mandanas ruling – to
generate more jobs.
- Contractualization is “least of my problems.”
- Create new jobs for workers displaced because of COVID-19; security of tenure to
be discussed once pandemic subsides.
Death Penalty
- No available information.
Political Dynasty
- In June, he said he opposed political dynasty, stressing that government positions
should not be “inherited” in a democracy.
Marcos’s Martial Law
- While he admired the “vision” of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, he condones
the abuses committed during the Martial Law era.
- He added that those who committed abuses and stole from the country’s coffers
will be dealt with accordingly by the rule of law.
- Implicitly criticized the Marcos-Robredo feud, saying that they were only avenging
for themselves and not intent on serving the people.
